Gulfstream: Flight Controls Best Check for Lock Release
Gulfstream Aerospace issued a maintenance and operations letter on Monday to all Gulfstream operators stressing that the “freedom of flight control movement is the ultimate indicator the gust lock is fully released for all Gulfstream models.” The letter is a follow-on to another sent on June 13 in the wake of the May 31 GIV-SP accident near Boston, which crashed after the pilots aborted the takeoff due to “control problems.” The Gulfstream’s gust lock system appears to be a focus area for NTSB investigators looking into the accident.
